Sex ed. number 1000

Honestly, i could write an entire book about the sex ed. i give my children or the things they say or ask.

2 days ago Morten confides that one of the boys in his class sings; we will, we will rock you, fuck you.
Do you have any idea what that means I ask
yes. That you don't like someone.

well, that's how it is also used.
but do you know what it actually refers to?

He gave me the finger.

i did ask for it.

yes. i said,
but again, do you know what that refers to?
no both boys didn't (caroline was having a time out in the hallway, can't remember why, but believe me, she deserved it.)

it refers to an erect penis i said coz if you are talking about fucking, that is not such a nice way of talking about having sex.

o right.

but my penis will never point to the sky Timo laughed.
hey morten, hey morten, do you know what i will do.
i will put a little automatic in my willy and then shoot semen bombs on the girl. takatakatakatak

i told you didn't i.
i can easily write a book.

just some random events from these last days

friday night.
i walk home
robbert steps out of the door.
hi he says.
i just cut the top of my finger and am going to the er.

saturday morning
alarm rings at 7.
morten has to weighed for a judu tournament at 8.15 somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
with 7 people (no pressure honey) we see him become 2nd.

saturday afternoon
i get home from the hairdressers.
lost about a kilo of hair and am now brown/red instead of blond.
caroline opens the door.
what have you done? she asks.
i like your former hair way more.

at the dinner table Melissa asks whether there is any one who likes my hair.
The children all shake their head.
and you robbert? she asks.
no. Robbert says.

saturday evening.
it snows!
it's been ages since it snowed in november.
kids go out and have a blast.

sunday afternoon
the boys have a waterpolo tournament.
they loose.
big time
nevertheless they walk around boasting of their next victory.

this morning.
timo has an appointment for the school doctors.
his weight is 29 kilo (very average) but his height -1,37 m- is a bit above average.
they calculate he will probably grow out till 1.90m.
198,5 tops.

just now
i bring caroline to bed.
there is another boy who has a crush on me she says.

on this bombshell i say Goodnight to all of you.

This beautiful lady got her A certificate for swimming this afternoon. Hoorah!!

Help

Where did 2008 go?

Drenthe

It was one of those weekends when we were away with people I have know basically half or whole my life. Most of these girls I know from middle school, but there is one (and her sister) I know from elementary school.
Crazy isn't it?

We stayed in an old farm in the north of the Netherlands and visited several places in the vicinity.

As you can see, the weather was gorgeous and the autumn colours made it even more beautiful.

another one down

Yes!!
The toughest tournament so far. He had to fight 7 times (of which 4 in a row and he won 3 of those) and it finally gave him the 3rd place.
Sometimes I think these tournaments toughen him but also me. He got hit by his opponents head in his first fight and was fighting his tears with me on the side doing the same. Lost that one of course and angrily wiped the tears from his eyes.
Then he won one and then in the 3rd fight, the other ones elbow hit his nose. He was shaking his head to get control and focus back so he could continue the fight, but honestly it is not easy to contain myself and not run towards him while on the way killing the other child AND his parents. Or whomever dares to cheer at these moments.
It's a cliche, but raising children means letting go.
I am convinced that one learns most from ones mistakes, but as a 42 yr old who thinks she's seen it all, been there and done it, i have to sit on my hands and bite my tongue.

Halloween

Just brought a short dressed cop, a spikey looking football player and an armed with utentsils house-wife to a Halloween party. Got some interesting looks from the cars we passed by :)

As you can see, Sam is trying to escape the Palestinian custome.
